      Azerbajdžanske oružane snage ponovno su uspostavljene prema Zakonu Republike Azerbajdžan o oružanim snagama od 9. listopada 1991. Azerbajdžanska Demokratska Republika (ADR) izvorno je formirala vlastite oružane snage od 26. lipnja 1918., ali su raspuštene nakon što je Azerbajdžan pripojen Sovjetskom Savezu kao Azerbajdžanska Sovjetska Socijalistička Republika od 28. 04. 1920. Nakon raspada Sovjetskog Saveza 1991.-92. oružane snage su reformirane na temelju sovjetskih baza i opreme ostavljene na azerbajdžanskom tlu.

      Oružane snage imaju tri grane: Azerbajdžanske kopnene snage, Azerbajdžanske zračne i protuzračne obrambene snage i Azerbajdžanska mornarica. Pridružene snage uključuju Azerbajdžansku nacionalnu gardu, Unutarnje trupe Azerbajdžana i Državnu graničnu službu, koje pod određenim okolnostima mogu biti uključene u obranu države.
